On the RS-Model website we have just found another model kit of Japanese fighter plane – Ki-61.
Title: Ki-61 I tei
Scale: 1/72
Catalogue number: 92143

From RS-Model website:

This machine featured two 12.7 mm Ho-103s in the wings, provisions of external storage using fixed underwing pylons, and a non-retractable tail wheel. The forward fuselage was elongated by 190 mm just after the exhaust line and forward of the windscreen to make room for the installation of Japanese 20 mm Ho-5 cannon in the fuselage decking. Several internal changes were also made. These included the simplification of several systems for increased dependability and ease of maintenance. The rear section of the fuselage was also made to be easily removable to further facilitate the ease of repair work.

Please remember, when contacting retailers or manufacturers, to mention that you saw their products highlighted here - on AEROSCALE.
